And despite living in a state with helmet laws, an awful lot of people still go without them.

I grew up in a state that has a helmet law, but lived for a time in one that didn't and I cannot tell you the number of unspeakable things I've seen on the highway in THAT state. An old friend got pulled over for not wearing his seatbelt and he said to the officer, "You are going to give me a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt inside a CAR in a state wear I don't need a helmet on a MOTORCYCLE?" The officer let him go!Sorta Southern Single Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349718837546442408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-63311897243081711142013-08-02T05:39:23.648-06:002013-08-02T05:39:23.648-06:00This makes me so angry!!!

I thought it was common sense to not want to smash your head, not something people did to avoid a ticket.Hilary @ Peanut Butter Spoonfulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526605614012515551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-90231281285325281712013-08-01T22:45:49.581-06:002013-08-01T22:45:49.581-06:00I totally agree!

I actually had a friend who posted a picture of her and her husband on a motorcycle and someone commented that she was missing her helmet. she replied that it doesn't help her look good or something like that and the other person said she could break her head open. her reply was she could also break her head open in the shower. omg.Dara @ Not In Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004533157267233128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-67711689643509349672013-08-01T12:54:53.377-06:002013-08-01T12:54:53.377-06:00Well said!

And then you find them holding a cell phone up to their ear while driving - can't get much worse.

Not only does it make me MORE nervous to drive around you but if you survive the crash that you will inevitably get into, you will likely have brain damage and/or in need of ambulance/hospital services. This puts a burden on the rest of us not just through the medical system, but also a loss of productivity in the workforce.

He still has his helmet that got cracked in half and if it wasn't for that helmet, would have been dead. Some states it's the law that they have to wear their helmet.

I also don't think a lot of military members (well Marine Corps anyways) realize that if you are killed on your motorcycle without your PPE (helmet, long pants, long sleeves, AND boots), your loved ones don't receive your SGLI!! If you're gonna be selfish and be irresponsible, at least make sure your loved ones are going to be taken care of if something were to happen to you because of your stupidity! AHH...rant over.
